Mobile Lab Bench to Promote Engineering and Technology in sustainabillity topics- Year 1

Demonstration" and "Discussion" are two important learning tools that effectively promote student retention and comprehension as outlined in the famous learning pyramid of the National Training Labs (Figure 1).In a laboratory setting where resources are limited to accommodate all students, these tools together can be the best alternatives next to "practice by doing."In order to incorporate demonstration and discussion in a laboratory environment, this project implemented a portable multipurpose lab bench.Improved student engagement and learning enhancement were targeted through the use of this single bench cohesively with classroom presentation of sustainability topics and relevant theory.Lab assessments and end of course surveys were collected to assess the learning experience as well as the effectiveness of the established mobile lab bench concept.Figure 1.Learning Pyramid 1 I.
